    Only that the laundry was very expensive

    The location is great, overlooking the creek but near to Garoda beach. The yoga everyday on the yoga deck was amazing, the paddle board into the mangroves was also a great way to start the day. Licthaus is wonderful, we ate there many evenings.

    Rooms could use an upgrade. Although they were nice but if they get an upgrade, this resort would be top. The waitresses were kind of slow and we had to get their attention to bring menus, drinks etc. If anything they would definitely need proper training on how to wait a table and build their customer service dining experience.

    Location, the private beach as well as the public beach. Food was not bad tbh. Lichthaus was spectacular to have food and drinks and sit in the netted ropes right above the water overlooking the ocean during sunset. BEAUTIFUL. Will look forward to coming back during high season. The receptionists were amazing, amazing customer service. I think that’s very important.

    Paradise resort with an annoying generator.

    The generator was unfortunately running for my full visit. For anyone that dislike a constant noise of a huge generator, this is inconvenient. It disturbs the general experience of tranquility and peaceful nature. It should not be a big thing to relocate the generator to the entrance and get it away from the rooms,

    Fantastic paradise bubble, right at the creek. Staff is just excellent. An absolute A for staff performance. Always helpful and with a friendly smile. Temple Point is one of the best places I stayed at in Kenya. Big area with a lot of space. Cool monkeys.

    They didn’t let me take my own water to the room. Initial excuse was a ban on plastic, but when they saw me refilling my reusable bottle, the manager told me straight that it was because the hotel needs customers to pay for extra water (2 bottles/day are provided for free in the room). The attitude of the manager lost me as a guest: they earned a few € for the water, but lost a few hundreds of € on my following stay in Watamu, as I chose a different hotel. It’s not about a few €, but about the attitude of the management. Just to clarify: the rest of the staff were all extremely kind.

    Great location, right next to the creek, with direct beach access. Multiple convenient facilities available, such as restaurant and gym.

    - Rooms are dated and small - Water flowing out of the shower drainage - Food a-la-carte is horrible, we couldn't finish our meals. Avoid the inhouse restaurant.

    + Great location + Family friendly + Dog friendly + Free entrance to Litchhouse (the best restaurant around) + One of the best massages on the coast + Breakfast is good (don't order a-la-carte though)

    Restaurant a la carte could be less slow. Breakfast at KS 3000 for a buffet is just too much. You can order a la carte for KS 800 - which is the better deal. Organizing activities could be better: I ask for yoga next day and they say can be booked only 24h before, should get up early and ask the yoga teacher if there is space nonetheless. Why not coordinate by the hotel? Same for snorkling: ended up going to another hotel. If Temples captain is not free why not organize for the guests another one or point them at where they can book. Small stuff, but if this was better, would be a 10

    Really well decorated facilities and nice comfy bungalows. I could have stayed much longer. Access to small but (feels) private beach with a nice bar and beds. Great value for money.

    I was looking forward to experience the lichthouse but my experience with the staff wasn't good. On the first day, we were served with fries from the last day, and king prawns that were not fresh. I complained and requested to speak with the in-charge to no avail. The staff (except Pendo) weren't friendly or helpful at all. The prices ere also too exbortitant.

    I loved the location, the ambience and the meals at the main restaurant (not at the lichthouse).

    I expected much more of the rooms, they are quite old and could use a lot of upgrades. The room cleanliness can also be improved. Overall didn't like the rooms.

    The staff are excellent, great service and friendly faces. The main restaurant is really nice to chill at and use for work, the wifi is very good making this a perfect choice for people working while on holiday. The restaurant area has a good ambience during the day and night.The hotel is right at the beach making it perfect access and Lichthaus bar is right there for a sundowner

    I wanted to go snorkeling and was told it could be arranged once I got there. But once I was there, I was told it couldn’t happen. I was really disappointed.
